Yours in IMA service,<\/em> These events make us question our responsibilities towards environment and the imminent climate change and its impact on our daily lives.<\/p>\n The world conference on climate change -COP26 took place in Glasgow this month with countries taking a pledge to reduce fossil fuel use and cut down CO2 emissions. Every citizen needs to be aware of climate change and act responsibly.<\/p>\n Enjoy this month\u2019s IMA issue.<\/p>\n Long live IMA.<\/p>\n Yours in IMA service, Dear friends<\/p>\n Happy to meet you all through the next edition of our IMA journal.<\/p>\n My sincere thanks to all consultants, post graduates and our Editorial team for getting this edition on time.<\/p>\n It is amazing to see the high end clinical activity that happens through every department in our hospital.<\/p>\n Stay safe during these rainy days.<\/p>\n Long live IMA.<\/p>\n With regards<\/em> As the subtle hues of pink which shade the month of October aid in helping us remember our dues to the fairer sex, among these are the urological afflictions commonly affecting women. The common misconception is that urological issues arise only in men. Women, in fact, in addition to most of the common conditions, have a few ailments that trouble them more (as with almost all conditions, certain gender predilections are known). Among them are urinary tract infections and overactive bladders. While it is known that women bear the unfortunate onslaught of urinary infections more than men, overactive bladders have come to become more prominent in the last few years.

Likewise, the treatment options are also aplenty depending on the clinic-radiological features. Medical management of osteoporosis is mandatory after any kind of surgical management of OVF to prevent further fractures in the spine as well as the appendiceal skeleton. Even in conservatively managed patients, medical management of osteoporosis is pivotal in improving the outcome.

With the current pandemic, though accurate data is not available, there seems to be a rise in the number of cases. Complications include life threatening PE and long term complications like post phlebitis sequelae. Early diagnosis, prompt management, and the introduction and use of newer treatment modalities like clot aspiration and lysis techniques, as and when indicated, can prevent long term complications and improve the long term quality of life.<\/p>\n Case History<\/strong><\/p>\n A 35-year-old gentleman presented to the emergency with pain and swelling of the left leg for the past six days.<\/p>\n Read Full Article<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner el_class=”blog-col” css=”.vc_custom_1617009566389{border-radius: 5px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”2550″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_custom_heading text=”Otomastoiditis With Petrous Apicitis & Cavernous Sinus Thrombosis” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%239a286d” google_fonts=”font_family:PT%20Sans%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal”][vc_column_text]CLINICAL HISTORY:<\/strong><\/p>\n A 3 year old boy presented with fever, swelling of the right eye and altered sensorium.<\/p>\n MRI BRAIN & ORBIT WERE DONE:<\/strong><\/p>\n T2 hyper and T1 hypointense fluid intensity signals were seen within the right mastoid air cells and middle ear cavity along with patchy areas of T2 hyperintensity involving the right petrous apex.

As age advances the morbidity was further scaled up with other associated comorbid conditions. Hence early steps to alleviate the knee pain could benefit the functional improvements and quality of life in those patients. The various non-surgical treatment available for symptomatic knee OA includes weight loss management, physical and aquatic therapy, bracing, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, intra articular cortisone, hyaluronic acid, PRP injections and finally genicular RF ablation (GNRFA).
